Washington – Renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking may have a good grasp of the workings of the universe, but he says he can’t understand Donald Trump’s popularity.

Hawking tells ITV’s “Good Morning Britain” show Tuesday that he has no explanation for the success of the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee.
“He is a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,” Hawking says in prerecorded comments to be broadcast when the show airs at 6 a.m. London time (0500 GMT, 1 a.m. EDT) Tuesday.
Hawking , who speaks through a computer system operated with his cheek, also made a plea for British voters to choose to remain in the European Union in the June 23 referendum.
He said it is important not only for economic and security research but also to further scientific research.
Hawking says: “Gone are the days we could stand on our own, against the world. We need to be part of a larger group of nations, both for our security, and our trade.”
Hawking has a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, that has gradually paralyzed him since he was first diagnosed at age 21.
Probably the only thing that Hawking and the Pope agree on.
maybe it is the ratzon (desire) of HaShem???
Smart man. I agree.
Who cares what this atheist (that thinks he is a genius yet fails to see HaSh-m in his creation) think.
Who cares what he says, for a guy who is very smart, all he does is day dream (theory).
For someone who doesn’t believe in Hashem, it is not surprising that he doesn’t understand that leiv sarim umekachim beYad Hashem.
Let me see if can Trum in some sort of light bulb for Mr. Hawking.
Ever wonder why in every nation on this earth there are humans that believe in God?
Are all religious people foolish?
Ever contemplate why with all your knowledge you still cannot create a self sustaining being the size of an ant or Miskito?
Science can’t answer everything because it’s limited to the human mind which is created by?
Regardless of what your limited mind can comprehend Mr.Hawking the masses can think for themselves !
OK, so he’s baffled by Trump’s rise. How about constructive criticism? Does he another choice when Sanders and Clinton is definitely out of the question?
…while many are baffled why Stephen Hawking matters.
Why would anyone care what this anti-Israel Pali loving loser care what he thinks about Trump’s success? Let him stick to physics and stay put of politics.
The fact that he thinks he has a right to comment and denigrate the opinion of millions of people is exactly why Trump is popular. These ideologs think they’re opinion is the only correct one and put down everyone who disagrees. This is the MO of the Democratic party. This is also why Trump refuses to invest too much into voter data. Trump defies everything big data scientist have theorized about.
Like the 1930 Centrist Party, too many of you can’t see the writing on the wall…or don’t know enough history to see it. Alas, Jews have never benefited under intolerant demagogic leaders.
This genius is a Jewish hating bum, loves BDS and hates Israel. Let him stick to black holes, maybe he’ll fall into one soon.
Typical Brit- overlook migrants raping your girls, but dig at Israel and Americans and those who want freedom from EU. He is undoubtedly a scientific genius but not a political one.
